Might be one for the older Retrobikers, this one. I'm struggling to find any reliable information on this subject. I'm guessing that tubulars weren't 18mm or 19mm back then, and that these came later once rims became very narrow. In the 30s the roads wouldn't have been good enough to use tyres that narrow, surely? So what size was commonly used?
Also, would they have been tan wall or black?
I've got one older tub which is a very crusty Wolber W333. It appears to be about 25-26mm wide but I can't find any information about them. It looks about the right sort of size for the bike and I guess it's the right size for the older rims.
